Can You Bring A Vape On A Plane?

When you are a vaper and need to travel by plane, you may be wondering if it is possible to bring a vape on a plane. 

The truth is that there are some issues and problems when traveling with e-cigs and carrying vapes through airport security and to airplanes. So, make sure to keep reading to comply with all the rules. 

Notice that major airports in the US don't allow you to vape. These include the Francisco International Airport, the Philadelphia International Airport, and the Los Angeles International Airport.

Can You Bring A Vape On A Plane?

While you can bring a vape on a plane, you can't vaporize on a plane. Besides, it is important that you check the airline restrictions regarding batteries allowed in checked bags or luggage.
Notice that vapes are allowed in airports as long as you carry them in carry-on baggage or on your person. But still following the airport’s requirements stays obligatory.

Tips To Flying With A Vape Pen

To avoid problems and inconveniences at the airport or on a plane, you need to make sure that you follow the airport as well as airline regulations.

So, whenever you are flying with a vape pen or a vape cartridge, you need to make sure that:

Everything is packed in a vape bag or a vape carrying case;
Extra batteries of your vape are well stored;
The batteries are stored away from magnets, loose change, or away from anything that could ignite them;

You switch off all vape devices and before packing them in their appropriate vape carrying cases;
You take e-liquid on a plane packed in a transparent Ziploc bag (max 3.4 ounces (100mL) each bag. Notice that you can't take more than 1L in total per person for a carry-on bag.
You separate liquids from carry-on baggage for the screening
You pack liquid bottles larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 mL in checked baggage
E-liquids, pods, and cartridges can leak due to change in air pressure as the plane ascends;
You don't attempt to charge the e-cigarettes on an airplane.

Taking E-cigarettes Past Airport Security

As you probably already know, airport security is responsible for the enforcement of airport rules and regulations. So, if you're traveling to or within the US, you need to make sure that all vaping devices brought to an airport are allowed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
On e-cigarettes and other vaping devices, the TSA has listed devices prohibited by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) from being transported in checked bags. This means that vaporizers, atomizers, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and e-nicotine delivery systems should be stored inside carry-on bags within the cabin.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

As you go past airport security and you're flying with a vape pen in your bag, you need to have packed your e-cigarettes inside carry-on bags.
When being checked at the gate or at the plane-side, vaping devices and e-cigarettes should be removed from the carry-on vape bags or vape carrying cases.
This is also the case if you are flying with vape cartridges. 
E-liquids need to be packed in clear plastic bags and should not exceed the 3.4-ounce allowed liquid limit.

Above all, it is important that you ensure compliance with all other vaping rules and regulations by both the airport and the airline. 

Don't forget that in the US, vaping is not allowed in planes or other enclosed places-just like tobacco. Even so, you can carry vaping devices during air travel but only in carry-on vape bags or vape carrying cases. Besides, you need to ensure that you don't have any weed vapes with you. In the case of medical marijuana, it is only legal in certain states. But when looking at the federal law, it is not legal. So, leave it at home.
